Announcements

  • The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.
  • We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies.

Commentary

Philological commentary

The supplementation follows Schmidt 1986b: 34-35.

Remarks

According to Schmidt 1986b: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or Tumšuq.
A small fragment, about 1 cm wide from the top left margin, containing the remnants of a single line.
According to Schmidt 1986b: 34 this fragment belongs in the beginning of lines a1 and b5 of THT 1104.
The original ms. was 29 cm wide and 5.6 cm high, with the string hole 6.5 cm from the left margin. It was written by at least three hands: scribe 1, a beautiful, delicate script, from leaf 1 to 11 a1; scribe 2, distinguished by a number of orthographical idiosyncrasies/errors, from leaf 11 a1 to and including 19; scribe 3 from leaf 20 to end. The final leaves A and B THT 1123 and THT 1124 may have been written either by scribe 2 or a fourth hand. Cf. Schmidt 1986b: v, 2, 6
This leaf is in hand 1 and 2.
